|be |reported |to |the |provider |immediately?
A) Mild |headache
B) Slight |swelling |of |the |ankles
C) Blurred |vision
D) Weight |gain |of |2 |pounds |in |one |week
Correct |Answer: |Blurred |vision
Rationale: |Blurred |vision |is |a |sign |of |potential |preeclampsia |or |an |impending |hypertensive
|crisis, |which |requires |immediate |attention |to |prevent |complications |such |as |seizures |or
|stroke. |Mild |headache |and |slight |ankle |swelling |are |common |in |pregnancy, |and |weight |gain
|of |2 |pounds |in |one |week, |while |notable, |does |not |require |immediate |reporting |like |visual
|changes |do.
2. A |nurse |is |caring |for |a |pregnant |woman |at |28 |weeks' |gestation |who |reports |severe
|headaches |and |vision |changes. |What |should |the |nurse |do |first?
A) Monitor |blood |pressure
B) Take |a |urine |sample |for |protein
C) Check |for |edema |in |the |lower |extremities
D) Perform |a |nonstress |test
Correct |Answer: |Monitor |blood |pressure
Rationale: |Severe |headaches |and |vision |changes |may |indicate |preeclampsia. |The |nurse |should
|first |assess |blood |pressure, |as |elevated |readings |are |a |key |sign |of |this |condition. |While |a |urine
, sample |for |protein |and |checking |for |edema |are |also |important, |blood |pressure |assessment |is
|the |immediate |priority |to |determine |the |urgency |of |the |situation.
3. A |nurse |is |caring |for |a |pregnant |woman |in |her |third |trimester |and |notices |significant
|swelling |in |her |face |and |hands. |What |should |the |nurse |do?
A) Monitor |the |woman's |blood |pressure
B) Provide |the |woman |with |fluids
C) Place |the |woman |in |a |semi-Fowler's |position
D) Perform |a |nonstress |test

Rationale: |Swelling |in |the |face |and |hands |can |be |a |sign |of |preeclampsia |. |The |nurse |should
|monitor |the |woman's |blood |pressure |to |assess |for |potential |complications. |Fluid |administration
|would |not |address |the |underlying |concern, |and |semi-Fowler's |position |or |a |nonstress |test |are
|not |the |priority |interventions.
4. A |client |with |hyperemesis |gravidarum |is |being |cared |for. |What |is |the |most |appropriate
|nursing |action?
A) Encourage |the |woman |to |drink |fluids |frequently
B) Monitor |the |woman's |weight
C) Suggest |the |woman |eat |small, |frequent |meals
